Gotthard von Höveln

Gotthard von Höveln (also: Hoeveln ; * October 21, 1603 in Lübeck ; † February 14, 1671 in Glückstadt ) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Höveln came from a Lübeck merchant and councilor family in which the first name Gotthard was very common. He was the younger cousin of the mayor Gotthard V. von Hoeveln . He studied in Rostock , Königsberg , Groningen and Strasbourg . After traveling through Western Europe, he returned to Lübeck in 1628, was elected to the council in 1640 and mayor in 1654. In 1662, the council leased him the Strecknitz estate . From his point of view, he stands for the orthodoxy of thought prevailing in Lübeck at that time and the aristocratic principles of the patricians of Lübeck who owned country estates in Holstein , which did not allow him to endorse the Lübeck constitutional reform ( Kassaress ) of 1669 , which his mayor colleague David Gloxin advocated . In 1669, after having not participated in the council meetings for three years, he resigned from the council , in 1667 placed his Moisling estate under Danish protection and became vice-chancellor in Glückstadt .

In his first marriage he was married to Cecilie, the daughter of Hieronymus Lüneburg († 1633) , after her death in 1649 he married Catharina († 1655), the daughter of the mayor Heinrich Brockes I , in 1656 in third marriage Magdalena († 1670) , the daughter of councilor Dietrich Brömse, making him brother-in-law of Diedrich von Brömbsen . He had a total of 15 children.

His body was brought to Lübeck and buried in the Marienkirche . His richly carved coat of arms epitaph burned in 1942.

Two Lübeck corridors and courtyards in Hundestrasse and Wahmstrasse in the old town are named after the von Höveln patrician family and were administered by family members as heads of existing foundations and endowed with endowments.
